The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander is part # C13163 or part # C13079 if you have a sport model. The rear bumper fascia and exhaust are different on the sport models which is why there is a different trailer hitch for each. I have attached an install video on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for reference. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers are both bolt-on options.

As long as your Outlander isn't the plug in hybrid (PHEV), I'd recommend the #118482 for vehicles without the factory tow package or #118277 for vehicles with the tow package. If your vehicle has the tow package, it will have the tow package…
